Goodnight Punpun, Vol. 1 by Inio Asano

dark emotional tense fast-paced

5.0

This manga took my heart out of my chest, crushed it, and then spit on it. It was one of the best manga I’ve ever read and I fully understand why it’s a cult classic. This is a super poignant coming-of-age story. The main character is drawn as a little bird in comparison to every other character being fully illustrated. The contrast makes the character stick out and makes you truly put yourself in his shoes. The relationships in this manga are deeply personal, funny, and heart-wrenching. If anyone has any doubts about graphic novels, this is a perfect example of how the medium truly upholds the story. I also fully can't describe how DISGUSTING the main character becomes. Please read all of the trigger warnings before reading this.
